An excerpt from a review of A Bright New Boise: "Will is impressively inhabited by Chip Wood. He is in every scene, and his performance of the man deliberately taking in each moment as if it were under God's ever-watchful good grace makes A Bright New Boise a bonafide success. This is not to take away from the collaged ensemble of intensely observed performances from the rest of the cast, all under the tightly paced direction of Steven Pounders; however, the portrait of this man is so specific in its redemptive journey, that were not Mr. Wood's demeanor so wisely understated, the story might have risked running off the rails."
